Yves Leccia's Patrimonio rosé is the ideal partner for summer meals. This blend of vin de saignée and vin de pressurage is vinous, full-bodied and fleshy, with a lovely freshness. It reveals a precise floral and fruity style, with a slightly spicy, mineral finish and long persistence. Enjoy as an aperitif or with spicy Mediterranean dishes. Simply delicious!

Expert opinion
Guide Hachette des vins
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the domain :
Yves Leccia, an oenologist involved in the revival and promotion of island wines, set up his own estate in 2005, after running the family business with his sister for some fifteen years. Today, with his wife Sandrine, he manages a 16-hectare vineyard on clay-limestone and schist soils in Poggio-d'Oletta. Certified organic since 2017, it is one of the pillars of the Patrimonio appellation, which is also often recognized for its Muscats.
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Rated (2019 guide) 16/20 (Vintage 2017) (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2022) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with a good level of production, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the domain :
Yves Leccia and his partner Sandrine run a vineyard located mainly on the E Croce and Partinelone plots. The land is ploughed and tilled, and organic fertilizers are used. In recent years, the estate has innovated with new wines such as O Bà, Biancu Marinu and L'Altru Biancu. These carefully-crafted wines remain good ambassadors for Corsican vineyards, but care must be taken not to erase too much of their individuality: some of the wines, more formatted than in the past, give pride of place to technicality.
